“SPIRITUAL DEFINITIONS verses MATERIALISM”

byCORA L. V. RICHMOND— At Chicago, 111.

Sunday evening, Jan. 12,1879

Spiritual ideas have suffered a reaction into materialism from the fact that certain theolog­ical definitions were too remote for the compre­hension of man and not in keeping with modern thought and established idea. But when it comes to be understood that “God” means “Spirit,” and that spirit is the supreme power permeat­ing the universe and controlling matter, it will not seem so inexplicable and so absurd to say everything is possible with God. Substituting for the word god the word spirit, everything is possible with spirit, the infinite pervading the universe, and the infinite representing in the ag­gregate the power of the individual.

As man has proven that intelligence over­comes matter in precise degree as intelligence advances, and as modern manifestations of spir­itual power, also corresponding to ancient dem­onstrations of the same kind, prove that where spirit interpenetrates matter, it entirely over­comes and supersedes the supposed methods of matter, and that all a fortiori knowledge or in­telligence upon the subject is merely a fallacy and postulate of the human mind, and can not be maintained in the presence of the fact, that whether or not it is considered impossible, fire does not always burn and water does not always drown; that whether or not it is considered im­possible, substance is not always solid and or­ganized bodies are not always in their places even though they do not wait for the slow proc­ess of decay; that whether it is considered pos­sible or impossible, the various facts supposed to be subversive of natural law do take place and introduce a scheme of other laws, a system of intervention that in itself is but an auxiliary to that which shall follow; and that if it is pos­sible for man with material appliances, gov­erned by intelligence, to erect a structure which under mechanical and mathematical laws shall withstand the pressure of specific gravity to­ward the earth, and if it is possible for man with gases to render a balloon so light that it will ascend into the air in contravention of the supposed law of gravitation, then there may be other laws intervening that shall make it pos­sible without this intervention of gas and with­out this mechanical appliance of architecture, to prevent those same occurrences in connection with material bodies; and that this does take

place is accredited by the best testimony 0f a country and the age, and therefore must be sidered as a fact, however startling it may be, the ultra materialism of the age. *

In the term “materialism,” in its abstrs, and general sense, you will remember that w do not include science, for science herself neither ultra materialism nor does she claims be spiritualistic. She is the medium, the inti, vening ground between matter and spirit, n ever watchful and vigilant, proclaims what i.% sees, repeats what she hears, reflects that wlii is reflected upon her, without offering an op;» ion. But materialism is a creed of moder thought, and is the lowest creed known to tjj. human mind, except fe a r ; belongs to the sens* is born of the lowest portion of man’s natt& yields only to that which is most external, is not even convicted and convinced by intells. gence. Materialism is the grossest form of hu.

GUEST e d i t o r i a l

EASTER IN THE LIGHT OF MODERN SPIRITUALISM

Rev. E rn st A . Schoenfcld, V ice-P resid en t, N .S .A .C .

And if Christ he not risen, then is our preaching vain and your faith is also vain. Easter is the story of the Cross and the Crown; of Effort and Reward; of Resurrection. (Manual) Easter, an annual Church festival commemorating Christ’s Resurrection, oc­curring on Sunday, the sec­ond day after Good Friday, and corresponding to the Passover or Pasch, of the Jews, also the day of this

festival.In accord with the degree of the Council of

Nicaea, Easter Day is always the first Sunday after the full moon that falls on or next after the 21st day of March. If the full moon hap­pens on a Sunday, Easter is celebrated one week later. This makes Easter a movable festival that can be celebrated anytime between March 22nd and April 25th. Be this as it may Easter is the so-called High Holiday of the present Christian Church.

The child Joshua or Jesus was born almost two thousand years ago in the village of Naza­reth. No one seems to know for certain how the early life of Jesus was spent. The Gospels five us many legends concerning his conception, birth and youth, but they are no more to be relied on than the similar legends told centuries earlier about Chrishna, of Hindustan, Zoroaster and Mithra of Persia, Buddha, Mohammend, etc.

The Christian Church tells us nothing that is not recorded in the four Gospels. At the age of thirty years, He had come forth from the obscurity in which he had resided in Nazareth, and having sought and obtained Baptism from John, and having overcome temptation in the wilderness, He, without further delay, began what is known as His life’s work in the world. His ministry, while not ignoring repentance, was one chiefly of faith and love. He supported His claim to be the Messiah, by so-called mira­ges of knowledge and power, such as prophecies ana healing the sick, even to raising the dead. His betrayal and subsequent Crucifixion ^°U£ht about by the nearly mad, jealousy of the chief Priests and other dignitaries in the Jewish Synagogues is an accepted fact by the V1nristian Churches of today. The belief in the mmaculate Conception, the deity of The Christ

and remission of sin are only a few of the requi­G R IL , 1976

sites for membership in the Orthodox Christian Church today.

Where Christmas, the commemoration of Christ’s birth is a joyous event in the Christian Church, the celebration of Easter is quite to the contrary, and is used by the Church to arouse the emotions of the non-thinking mind.

Very little, if any, of the present day teach­ing of the Christian Church can be traced be­yond the meeting at the Council of Nicaea, in 325 A.D. The Council of Nicaea was held be­cause it was believed that some three hundred years earlier a Jew, named Joshua (Greek translation “Jesus”) lived and died a violent death.

Through the mediumship of A. J . Davis a new dispensation was given to the world, two years before the advent of the Fox sisters.

Spiritualism did not come as another faith, sect or cult. It does not depend on ancient writings nor tradition and has no ecclesiastical organizations claiming to interpret God’s pur­pose toward mankind. It has neither rite, rit­uals, forms and ceremonies. Spiritualism is the only revelation that has ever come to man from a higher level of intelligence than exists on earth, and, as such, does not depend on the sayings or teachings of a past age. It rests fundamentally on the fact that communication between the two worlds is a scientifically es­tablished fact.

The basic teachings of Spiritualism as a Religion are outlined in the second and third Principle, and again in the seventh. Spiritual­ism accepts Jesus in the light of an elder brother, not as a personal Savior or Reedemer. The Spiritualists look upon The Christ’s earth life and death as an example rather than a re­demption. It teaches that every man answers for his own sins and none can be redeemed by the vicarious sacrifice of another.

Being a religion based on Natural Law, it teaches obedience to such laws, and urges man to unfold his spiritual faculties to attain that state of spiritual consciousness which will help him to realize and understand his oneness with the Infinite. Being a creedless religion it sets no limitations or bounds for the sincere seeker of truth, and definitely does not attempt to dogmatize the intellect.

How true are the words of E. W. Wallis, (quote) “There is no Redeemer so powerful as knowledge rightly applied.” (unquote)

Spiritualism has neither High nor Low Holi­days. It has long since taken Jesus off the, Cross, where the theologians have left Him, and placed his principles in the heart and home of all men who believe in the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man. When the world adopts Spiritualism, and all that it stands for, wars will cease and our social conditions will improve. Hate, fear and superstition shall be extinct and the World shall be filled with in­tellectual Light.

COMMENTHerbert F. Schneider

Spiritualists in their pursuit of knowledge are not adverse to investigating all avenues of religion. A recent issue of the “Reader’s Di­gest," took a peek at some modern cults said to have an extensive following particularly of young people.

From the Spiritualist viewpoint we find that we have little to gain from such cults. However for anything to succeed there must be some­thing of good about it. In most instances this is limited to teaching the value of meditation and calming the emotions so that the spiritual part of man can prove its existance.

When you take these good principles and set up a leadership cult wherein the leader is to be regarded as all knowing with idolitrous acquiesence to all of his instructions, you must know that falsehood is present.

There is no denying that all religious move­ments require material support to carry for­ward and the better ones deserve the best that can be provided, but when you find an inordinate concern is given to financial provisions for the leader and your capability to provide them, then you know that however spiritual the leadership may seem to be at first, it is materialism that is paramount.

The greatest concern pertaining to such cults is found to be the affect their teaching has on the minds of its youthful adherents. The domination of one mind over others can seldom be less than harmful. It has been found that aderents of these cults are in all cases required to submit unquestioning to the will and direc­tions of the leader. The result would necessarily have a narcotic effect upon the followers.

Spiritualism teaches that the individual should as nearly as possible remain in full con­trol of his will. The power of his own reasoning is never to be yielded up to external influence.

Apparently segments of youthful society not having been fulfilled to any extent by suitable parental guidance or a satisfying religious knowledge, revert to an infantile urge to be led, because they cannot think their way out of present day dilemmas. The mature concept of Spiritualism could fulfill their need if they ap­plied time and patience to understand it.

Another article in the same issue refers to a famous magician whose skill as an escape artist exceeded his prestidigitation. To my knowledge no one else has ever equaled his ability to es­cape captive situations of being manacled hand and foot, while imprisoned in various enclos­ures, including one which I witnessed. Hand­cuffed, bound with ropes and padlocked chains, he was suspended in mid air by the feet and lowered head downward into a glass tank full of water. For affect a man stood by with a fire­

man’s pickax to smash the glass if need From a good one dollar orchesta seat (mating his predicament appeared extremely precario * with bubbles rising from his nose. A light c tain was drawn before the tank while some L counted off a few seconds and whisked it Houdini was gone and appeared from the win

Though Houdini denied it, some spéculât", as to whether he employed supernatural po i in other more difficult feats off stage. He nevi theless understood some laws of nature.

Houdini was deeply affected by the passi of his mother. He sought consolation throu, mediums all of whom he declared to be fra£. lent. From some publicized situations I conclu;, that he never did understand the natural la under which the mediumship of communicati * functions and his expectations and demands were irreconcilable with such laws.

Irascible from disappointment he dedicatee himself to exposing all spirit communication fraudulent. Upon the same occasion I witness., one of his staged demonstrations which I re' garded as ridiculous at the time. I wondered t- to what strange kind of mediums he contacted.

He of course acted as the medium with fingers of both hands pressed upon the table top. Under the table beneath the green table­cloth one watched him withdraw his right foot from a slipper type shoe. A large hole in his sock permitted his big toe and first toe to pro- trude in order to grasp a school bell and ring it for yes and no and other ridiculous stunts. The public no doubt thought they had witnessed a typical expose.

Though he may have encountered inade­quacy in mediocre mediums I doubt if he ever honestly exposed any genuine medium of wrong doing.

He had not convinced himself that con­tinuity of life was not a fact. Proof of which is his compact with his wife before his tragic death to communicate a secret code to her if he survived. The “Digest" article says that con­tact was never made. Though it has been con­troversial we have substantial reason to be­lieve that evidential communication was estab­lished. HFS

NOTICETo the subscribers of The Nntionnl Spiritualist;

I t is with deep regrets that we must advise our read­ing public of pending price increase. The prices of paper, postage etc. has increased so much in the pas* few years that we find the cost of publishing The Na­tional Spiritualist is in a deficite completely impractical with the allowable subsidising of The Stow Foundation- Effective June I , 1976 the single piece per copy will »e 4(ty. All subscriptions (when they come due for renew­ing) will be increased to $3.00 per year—this include3 both individual and church subscriptions, (Cburche3 please note your margin of retail return is increased)- Foreign subscriptions $3.50 per year.

'■ Spirit teachers affirm that “heaven is not a olace but a state or condition of love, wisdom, neace puri y and happiness within one’s self.” Those teachers affirm that “life is eternally nrogressive. and it polarizes and forms into in­numerable ascending, expanding kingdoms.” Those kingdoms, because of their happy states and purified conditions of life, are termed heavens, and each higher kingdom or heaven increases tiemendously in power, voltage and heauty. The power, voltage and beauty harmo­nizes with or is adjusted to the receptive and expressive ability of the spirit people living there.

If heaven were a place one could go to that place. People who speak of going to heaven are referring to a place. One can go to an exterior place, but one cannot go to an interior state or condition. The interior state or condition can be attained only through growth. A child cannot go from the state of infancy to the condition of manhood, but it must grow from the impotent state to the mature condition. Likewise, people cannot go, but they must grow and become adapted through expansion and extension of being to the power and voltage of the progres­sive, ever-ascending kingdoms or heavens. How can one grow ?

The Nazarene states in the new testament that “The kingdom of God is not Lo here! or lo there! for behold the kingdom of God is within you.” The kingdom of God is within every per­son, and to enter a higher exterior kingdom, it must complement the receptive and expressive ability of the spirit people who dwell in those higher kingdoms. The development of the king­dom of God within man must match the develop­ment of the kingdom of heaven outside of man before man is adapted (conditioned and quali­fied) to enter the tremendous power and voltage °f the higher kingdoms.

What is the kingdom of God within, and how o?63 <?ne ^eve'°P it? The spirit teachers affirm that “the kingdom of God within man is an im­mortal tree of life, and it is prolific in the pro­duction of wonder-working seeds of embryonic |a ent. Those prolific, wonder-working seeds of talent are released to beautiful, fragrant blos­som and luscious ripened fruitage only through spiritual germination and eternal growth. The ¡Termination and growth is induced from above "rough intimate contact with the above. Each

Person must be born from above through stim- ation which comes from above. Mortals are orb through stimulation which comes from the

finite natural sun, and immortals are reborn through stimulation which comes from the In­finite Spiritual Sun." "Fiat lux—let there be light.”

After spiritual rebirth what? How do reborn spirit people grow? What is conducive to the growth of the spirit? Spirit teachers affirm that "spirit people grow by serving—by giving what­soever the spirit has to give.” They say that “one grows rich and powerful in the material world through aggregation—through selfish getting, accumulation and hoarding, but one grows rich and powerful in the spiritual world only through dissemination—through unselfish and perpetual giving.” The greatest servants-— the most unselfish givers are the wealthiest, most powerful people of the spiritual world. The spirit people who unfold the prolific talents or gifts of their inner spiritual natures—the spirit

APRIL, 1971 ; 5

A TALK WITH GLADYSArthur B. Hartley

Frankly, I don’t know to what extent other mediums or spiritual channels go in for this type of phenomena, as I have never read about or experienced anything of this nature except during meetings wherein the Rev. Grace Gause was acting as a channel for those in spirit to do their thing, as the ex­pression goes.

Mrs. Gause has, during the last fifteen years or more in the San Francisco

Peninsula area, been the spiritual channel for the group of spirit teachers known as the Im- perator Group, who, under the guidance and di­rection of Imperator, were responsible for the writing of the book “Spirit Teachings,” through the mediumship of the Rev. William Stainton Moses.

On numerous occasions during group ses­sions and, as in this case, private talks with members of the Imperator Group, these teach­ers have asked permission of their channel to bring some spirit whom they hoped a contact with someone on the earth plane would help them to understand that they had passed into a different world, so to speak, and a little co­operation on their part would make it possible for them to make their complete transition and take up their work in their new invironment.

On this occasion I and my sister, Mae, were having a talk with Dr. James H. Hyslop, who had joined the Imperator Group after making his transition into the Spirit World. Dr. Hyslop, professor of Logic at Columbia University dur­ing the early years of this century, had created the James H. Hyslop Psychical Research Foun­dation and written much Spiritualist literature.

The recording tape of this occasion is still available, and the following is taken verbatum from the tape. Much is lost endeavoring to pic­ture this young lady’s performance with the written word, as her halting speech and evident frustration was certainly convincing, but this is what took place: Dr. Hyslop speaks:

“I have a young lady here who we feel would be helped considerably with a contact with some one or your physical plane, and so we ask if we will be permitted to have this one talk with you.”

We will do the best we can. We will try.All Right. I’m glad you said that, because

A rthu r B . H artley

there are so many who are landing on shores that have absolutely no conception where they are or what they are doing or * They are turning back to the earth, and troubled, and, incidentally getting their eart contact into trouble, too. So many people say do not know why I did it,” or “it wasn’t natn for me to do it,” and that is because someone our side wanted some vicarious satisfaction a have attached themselves or visited this « who did not know the need of self control i not permitting anything to pass through mind that was not his own, because of cotm, those on our side do meet you on the ment plane.

Suppose we bring the young lady to you, t your mind?

No. (Following is Gladys talking.)Well, it isn't easy—to talk through -:omeoi|;

else. That’s what they are telling me I’m doisjYes, that’s what you’re doing. You are t i l

ing now to me, Arthur Hartley, and my sistp Mae, here, and we would love to have you ft us about yourself and what the situation is fa you right now.

Well, I’d like to tell you about myself, hut that’s not so important. It is important tha: these—I guess they are teachers—around me, —I’m not dead; I’m alive; that I’ve jus*, changed my place of living. Well, everythin' seems so different, and so strange, yet I don't see why I can’t, if I’m alive, keep on living‘r. Kansas City. Why I have to be some place else Why I can’t talk to my folks in Kansas Cit They tell me I ’m talking through a woman.

Yes, you are.What’s all this about? Why can’t I be in

Kansas City?Well, that’s rather difficult to explain. Th-?

teachers tell you that you are not dead; you are alive. And you are alive in one sense. As we jo along in this little world everyone realizes that we live here on the earth plane for a time an then die, and many people still believe that dy­ing is the end of everything, where in your case you have found that dying is really the begin­ning of something new. Actually, there are two planes, one we call the earth plane, where my sister and I are, and the Spirit Plane, where you are. One goes through a life span, which may be short or long, depending on many things, ac­cidents, for instance, and then leave the earth plane and go to the spirit plane, where life i-; somewhat similar and many people continue with the same interests and activities as they had here on earth, if they so wish. So if you ash some of the teachers for guidance, your situa­tion will be improved considerably.

I didn’t want to leave Kansas City!I’m sure you didn’t, but everybody does,

sooner or later, whether they want to or not- Actually, life is a series of lives. We live in one

for a time and then go to the next plane. Wplike to think of the earth plane as a kinder-

rten from where we go to the first grade, and “ptnew and interesting experiences, which can hi vours right now if you do as the teachers i«gest. Had you known about the Spirit World nd what to expect when your time comes to

feave the earth, you wouldn't be in the fix you are in right now.Where do you learn about these things?

We admit that the opportunities for learning about the Spirit World are limited, but many neople like my sister and I and the many others who have learned about the Spirit World by listening to the teachers like Dr. Hyslop, who was the one who arranged to have you talk to us, are passing this knowledge amongst as many people as possible, and then there are many Spiritualist churches and other groups that are trying to inform people like you what to look forward to when they arrive on your plane of existence. And so many people are learning about these things, and we are sorry the op­portunity hadn’t come your way. We would like to know your name and know a little bit more about you. Won’t you tell us your name?

Tell me—is that the reason why—why is it that you are the only one that listens to me?

Well, you aren’t where they are. You have left them and gone to the Spirit World and taken on a new body—a spirit body.

Can’t they see my spirit body ?No. They can’t either see you or hear you.

You will just have to accept the fact that things are different. Your folks in Kansas City don’t know where you are and you can't go back to Kansas City. That’s too bad, but that’s the way it is.

They can’t hear me talk to them?No. You have left them, and they are sorry

that you have gone. They can’t see you, so they accept the fact that you have gone for good.

I guess these people who are around me—I guess they are teachers—what are they going to do if I listen to them ?

They will help you find your relatives or friends; tell you where to go to become in­formed as to what you should do to find your proper niche in the new world you had just en­tered. Those who had been ill and were not able to stay any longer on the earth plane are taken to a hospital, where they regain their strength and eventually take up their new work, as you wfl] do after you get some help to straighten up this present situation. I’ll tell you what to do. Ask Dr. Hyslop, the chap that brought you here, to help you. He is a wonderful person. He used

GOD’S CHANNELS OF GOODSpiritualism brings to the surface man's spiritual

such as inspiration, clairvoyance, elairaudienec, and healing powers. N.S.A.C.

to teach college when he was on the earth plane.It doesn’t seem so terrible the way you say

it. Is that what you would do?Why, surely. As I have had the opportunity

of finding out that my new home will be a pleasant place and that there will be a guide or teacher like the ones around you to guide me to my new home, I would have no problem, like the one you have at the moment. Ask Dr. Hyslop to help you, and I’m sure all your problems will be solved.

I don’t want to see anybody; I want to go home.

I’m sorry, my dear, but that is not possible. Instead of looking back to your former life, you should look towards something new and pleas­ant, like a new home and garden, or new friends, for instance.

Since I have been over here I haven’t found anyone that has been unkind to me. But they just insist that I listen to them, and I just don’t want to listen, and I want to go back to Kansas City.

Well, let’s try something different. Dr. Hy­slop, the gentleman who suggested you talk with us, has told us that there are thousands of people where you are now who are trying to help people on the earth plane where we are, endeavoring to inform us of what is in store for us when we reach the Spirit World, so we won’t find ourselves in the pickle you are now. So, al­though it’s a little late, why not ask Dr. Hyslop to inform you about the Spirit World and what to do when you get there, in the same way as he has been informing so many of us here on our side of the veil ? As he has helped my sister and me, so can he help you. That makes sense, doesn’t it?

Is that what you would do? (Speaking to my sister, who was sitting nearby).

That’s exactly what I would do. Just as he told you you should do. You know, if you had some certain interests here on the earth plane when you were here, and you tell Dr. Hyslop what you are interested in, he will help you find something that will interest you in the Spirit World, and if you have friends over there that went over some time ago, you can make a contact with them, and if you want a little home of your own, with a garden, they will help you get that, and the things you are interested in they will help you find. Doesn’t that make sense ?

Well, you have changed my opinion!I’m so glad.And you, too. Who are you ?I am Arthur Hartley, and this is my sister,

Mae.Can I call you Arthur?You certainly can.And can I call you Mae ?Please do. We would love to have you.

Spiritual "¡Healing

llev. Paul D. Wilson

Pari 2 of 3.Paul D. Wilson

The Healers in this ai’ti- cle are the Magnetic, Faith or Psychic Healers. They are best known by the term, “laying on of hands”. The human hand discharges the Healing, or Life Force, bet­ter than any other part of the body. Other parts will “radiate” this force as an­other method of Healing. Strong Magnetic Healers are those individuals who have a surplus of force that is felt by all who comes

near them. One does not need to know about this in order to disseminate much healing. The design of the body and the way of life is the de­termining factors in the quantity and quality of the healing delivered to the patient.

Treatments given may be: By laying on of (he hands, Absent treatment in which the mentality seems to direct the forces, by mag­netizing articles which seem to carry the power, to attract, from a distance, the forces of the healer, healing with the patients cooperation or without the cooperation which tends to les­sen results as the forces of the patient are often lacking. Healing to an unsympathetic or antag­onistic person may be best done without the knowledge of the patient.

The healer furnishes his own force which may vary in strength and quality from day to day. The better the health of the healer the stronger his forces. The results of tobacco and alcohol in his body may pass on detrimental ef­fects to a patient who is allergic to these things. He may get temporary results due to the pa­tients needing continuous outside extra force. When permanent results are accomplished it means that the forces of a patient needed “only a booster treatment.”

The normal forces of the patient will main­tain health.

The healer should never try to treat anyone if he does not feel that it would be effective. Some persons healing forces are such that a treatment would add nothing to what is already there.

Remember that there is much variance as to the strength and effectiveness in any healer and patient relationship. When the healers force is what the patient needs then the best re­sults are accomplished. When the healer has

noching in addition to the normal force of patient then no results will be noted. Just as medicine or remedy, is good for some thir likewise, some patients will not take the h ing from some healers.

Healers should study anatomy and deve an approach to the patient that is pleasing all who are present. This is important.

Piactice will strengthen the Healing FoWatch for impressions when treating. A

X-ray Clairvoyance may help the Healer whc has this phase. Never diagnose patients.

Sometimes healing consists of “drawing out s ^stances that are not needed. The healer feel a drawing sensation which means t|L something is being taken out that is not needed.

Mental Healing is accomplished by the di­recting of the mentality which also seems to create a channel for the flow of additional for« from sources other than the mind. The presen« cf strong healers in any group will assist in many phases of psychic phenomena as healin; blen !s well with any other natural force.

The healer should know the Civic Laws abide by them.

Massaging is not healing but stimulation of the circulation.

The forces from you may start first and other forces join or other forces may first be

This is our quest—we shall not fail.Mrs. E. L. Muse, NSAC Superintendent of the Bureau of Lyceums

H*T.E.L.M uac. NST

Fellow L y c e u m is ts :

Decades and decades have passed and many changes and their history repeats itself. Not any of us are perfect, we make mistakes and profit by them. There’s so much work to be done and if we only do the work that is easy, we soon loose sight of the things that will prepare us for a greater task.

Neither Babe Ruth nor Hank Aaron would have achieved baseball immortality if they had swung only at the pitches to their exact liking. The Babe, if we remember our baseball, also set some strikeout records.

All of which reminds us of the problems of the NSAC Bureau of Lyceums. It is easy enough to go back years and years and identify the mis­takes or the weak links if you want to so desig­nate them.

Maybe those in authority were more dream­ers than realists when it came to mapping the course for the NSAC Lyceums in the years to follow. There definitely has been a weak link somewhere along the way which must be strengthened. Not any one individual can be blamed for this weakness.

But skip the liability side of the ledger long enough to look at the assets. Let us think of the lives of young men & women who have been enriched through the teachings of the Lyceum. We must carry through an immediate emerg­ency for the cause is so great and the time is of the essence.

State Lyceum Superintendents, Conductors and Teachers must be trusted in the future as they have been in the past. But there must be safeguards so that the one weak Lyceum chain cannot cripple all. We learn from history and Personal experiences. Your NSAC Superintend­ent of the Bureau of Lyceums and all of the ap­pointed assistants will have recommendations to prevent anything similar.

,We can't let one Lyceum which stumbled ruin the parade. We shall give it a lift while we determine whether it can continue in the march, too assignment is to march. We have and we snail with your help.

The basic answer to our problems and the Ohcceaa of the future for our Lyceums comes

“EXCERPTS OF INTEREST TO ALL LYCEUMISTS”

Report of Committee on the Children’sProgressive Lj'ceum National Convention,

1898Your Committee, appointed by the Fifth An­

nual Convention, to devise ways and means to more effectually organize the Children’s Pro­gressive Lyceum throughout the country, begs leave to submit the following report:

First. Your committee finds the Children's Progressive Lyceum in a disorganized condition and lacking in uniformity of work.

Second. We believe it would be to the best interest of the Children’s Progressive Lyceum and our Cause at large, to effect a National Ly­ceum Association, whose object should be the centralization of all interests and a uniform system of education.

Therefore, your Committee has provided for a special session of Lyceum workers and those who are in sympathy with the Lyceum Move­ment to be held Friday, October 21, at 10: A.M., and at 3 :00 and 7 :30 P.M.

Therefore we would respectfully recommend the organization of a National Spiritualist Ly­ceum Association, authorized by the Convention of the National Spiritualists Association, whose relation shall be fraternal and independent in operation.

Respectfully submitted by your committee.J. B. Hatch, Jr.C. W. Stanglen Mary J. Stephens Mattie E. Hull

In the National Spiritualist Convention of 1893, the following resolution was passed rela­tive to the young people.

“The word "heal*’ comes to us from the old Saxon “Hal”, to make whole or hale, so a healer is one that makes whole and hale the human body. Man does not live to or for himself alone, hence the m atter of the health of the individual is one that concerns all, not the patient alone but society as well."

Surviving are her husband Frank Forrest, one daughter, Mrs. Dodd one sister and three brothers and three grandchildren. I t is to be re­membered that Mrs. Forrest was a member of the Uni­versal Spiritualist Brotherhood Church for many years and served the Church well in the Healing Ministry, until they moved to Arizona where she took up her work in the NSAC Camp at Tanopah, the F irst Spirit­ualist Church of Phoenix and Harmony Chapel of the same city.

THE Q & A COLUMNQuestion:

Do you believe it necessary for a medium to be educated aside from his or her psychic devel­opment ?Answer:

Absolutely yes. We might as well face facts and realize that one of the reasons why we have nofcattracted more of the higher and more intel­ligent minds into our ranks today is because of the illiteracy of many of our workers. Our me­diums should be able to contact the thinking minds of the world in a manner that will be a credit to the cause, presenting a pleasing per­sonality, using good English and being able to present the work always in a manner that com­mands the respect of the hearer even though they may not accept it as truth. While educa­tion alone cannot make a psychic it goes a long way toward making a psychic a success and a credit to the cause.

MY SH EPH ERD Psalm 23

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want;he makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside still w aters; he restores my soul.

He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I fear no evil;

for thous art with me;thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies;

mou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days

of my life;and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

THE GOLDEN SHADOWWilson €. Gilman

Everyone at one time or another in his life, searches for an idol, an image, a god, a movie star, to worship. Everyone wants to identify with something that is above and beyond the daily routine.

Thus on this sunny afternoon, Richard Royal, magazine correspondent and researcher, was in the office of Gerald Macy, producer, ask­ing the inevitable question, that invariably brought forth a sign of weariness from Mr. Macy.

“I tell you, I don’t know what has become of Gloria Golden,” he said slowly. “And besides Gloria Golden does not exist, my friend. She is a synthetic woman, and she does not exist any­where in the world—except in darkened thea­tres or auditoriums.”

Richard Royal, with his cassett poised, snorted. “Go on, Mr. Macy. You moving picture boys are superb when it comes to manufactured mysteries, and this is another one that I am determined to solve. There have been unhappy rumors that she has passed away, others that you have imprisoned her, others that she has been kidnapped—now I am determined to find out which of these rumors is true. How about it.”

Gerald Macy leaned back in his swivel chair, gazed out of the big window into the afternoon sunshine, and spoke, softly, yet impressively.

“Mr. Royal—I’ll tell you what I know, but before all the gods of history, I will say here and now, that I do not know Gloria Golden or where she is supposed to be. You see it all be­gan when one of our scouts attended a picnic by mistake—got on the wrong road, and wound up in a grove with a couple hundred kids. Among them was this homely flat faced, snub nosed woman. What attracted Bud’s attention was the fact that this woman had two voices— there was a chap with an accordion, and they

UOLDEN SHADOW (Cimt’d.) were laughing, and having fun. Eut noticed all of a sudden, that she had merely to mentally snap a switch, and forth came the most glorious voice—as of a woman singing to her God. It brought tears to his eyes—and yet five minutes later, she was singing a love song that was so deep and low, reminding one of a bass singer, that again it sent the corpuscles surging through the system with an entirely new emo­tion. Bud came back with the news, so we sent a sound crew out to find her—they succeeded, and took several tapes of her voice and ex­plained that by manipulating the frequencies, they brought out the most divine voice you ever heard. We rushed out and had a talk with her, got her to appear, she was a modest little thing with a big dream-—she wanted to build a church devoted to psychic and spiritual science, as a widening view of the religious horizons in the country.

“The first picture was a success—her voice wet every eye in the theatres, and we signed her to five more pictures.

“But there was a string attached—she would sign and appear in those pictures with the con­dition, that when she was done, she could van­ish and build her church and I was to promise never to try and find her; the six pictures would finance the church, and she would disappear for­ever from the public; she wanted no fame nor glory; she’d had a vision that somehow some­where, sometime she would be given the chance ;o build this church—she said something about realing, besides, and a shrine with certain mag- if tic properties and psychic people—so I was forced to accede to her wishes.

“On the set I felt a strangeness about the voman—some call it spirituality—but she ?emed to absorb some of the characteristics if other stars who had come and gone; she was xceedingly humble and obeyed all orders under ay direction. I was awed by the almost ethereal inguage as she spoke her lines, some of which ad to be rewritten on the spot—with a certain reathlessness, a certain beauty that impressed he members of the cast and crew.

“Mail rolled in in stacks, weeping women mke a profitable audience; people and corre- aondents like yourself, all demanded details •om our publicity department—we would furn- h none, yet our returns from the pictures in •lease were fantastic.

“A last farewell party, and the next day she id vanished. So I will tell you, Mr. Royal, as I ive told others, at certain times in history, ,ere are people who appear on this earth who em to be made of different substance. I will >t attempt to explain why or how—I can only nclude this interview by saying that Gloria Aden does not exist anywhere now. She was synthetic woman, and it took the services of ty men and women to create Gloria Golden as u saw her; actually you only see a shadow in

a dark room. She was the product of make u, ligh ing, laboratory work, sound engineers? speaking and voice coach, editors who asset« bled the final prints, art directors, musician set decorators—all these elements went inv the making of the image of which you inqujjl People have come to me with tears in thoir ey seeking this go'den image, which touched the strings of their lonely hearts. I can give the the same answer that I give you. I don’t knDv where she is, nor where her church is locate! this is a solemn promise that I made to her She was a homely woman physically, and pro ably couldn’t find a job anywhere, so she turn to what she called Spiritualism and the arts o healing as her career. She was a shy w o m f l nevei appeared in public and shunned all of the material lhat our publicity department woull put out. I’m sorry, sir, but she cannot be founl because, you see, she does not exist. Good Dav* tf * *-Jsuv

It was some months later when corre- spondent Richard Royal was driving down t road near a small town, when he was forced to stop because of construction on the road ahead. A Church was being built nearby, with a wooden sign announcing the fact that it was to he a church of psychic and spiritual science with a healing shrine, where all the world would be welcome.

“Hi there,” Richard called through the open window to the little flat faced woman working a a flower bed. “How’s business, and what is spiritual science?”

The girl stood up. “Fine,” she said cheerily. “How’s yours? As to spiritual and psychic sci­ence—that’s the world of the mind—and an ap­proach to what we believe in the future life.”

“I’m afraid mine will be where it is a lot warmer,” he said with a laugh. “Say,” intently, “Haven’t I seen you somewhere before?”

GEMS OF GILMAN Jewels of Wisdom by Ishtar, the Persian:

Twenty five years ago He wrote:“Man shall have many gods, and one of them

shall be the Hebrew Image, during whose reign, the wars shall grow greater and more devastat­ing, and millions shall starve while grain bins are bursting.”

On.Man’s destiny:“Perhaps it is man’s destiny to find the

temple of his gods, the fountain head of all wis­dom and knowledge. What a pity that Man does not know that it is not a matter of time, place, or materials, but that it is within his own soul, and all he needs to discover it, is someone with whom to share it.”

On the discovery of the hydrogen bomb:“Now you are the last of the Barbarians.

Mankind kills everything that flies, walks, crawls or swims, and now he has invented the process whereby he can blow himself and the planet up, and thus there will be no one left to challenge the gods, or to call them by name, for when mankind dies, his gods die with him.”

“If the God existed in which some men be­lieve, then the tears of one small child who had lost its mother in the transition, would over­flight change the face of the entire world.”

RENEWED COURAGEPriscilla M. Clough

Have you ever gone down into the depths of despair only to rise again, more triumphant, more jubiliant then you have known renewed courage.

Have you ever gone into the valley of the shadow of death, and felt your life blood come back, oh so slowly, then you have known re­newed courage.

Have you ever felt yourself deserted by fiiend and fortune alike, yet something within you w'hispered “on, upward”. That little seed com age, was struggling to see light.

It was Edward Purington who said that a willingness to face life dispels all shadows along the way. Courage comes from the outer and inner forces, the mind, the spirit and the body. The greatest components of physical courage are vitality and energy. Don’t try to endure, try to overcome. “To him that overcometh, will I give the crown.”

Dare, initiate, be positive, fill your life with love and renewed courage will already be there. Do you feel you are snowed under by the heavy burden of economic care. Look up. “Even an electric button is of no value unless it is pushed.”

Are you pining away in a position which you feel unsuited to your talents and temperament? Give yourself a thorough shaking up. Ask your­self what do I really want? What can I do? I am my own master.

Perhaps, you are mentally depressed. You think you need a change, a new viewpoint. Stop pitying yourself. The more introspective you be­come, the more you exaggerate your case. Get a new interest in life outside yourself, even if it is only a jigsaw puzzle or the neighbor’s baby, or welfare work.

Don’t be afraid of danger or pain. One writer has aptly said, “pain is the magical palette on which life mixes her colors when she is to pro­duce a masterpiece. Robert Browning said it in another way,

“Then welcome each rebuff That turns earth’s smoothness rough Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand but go Be our joys three-parts pain,Strive and hold cheap the strain;Learn nor account the pang Dare, never grudge the throe.”

America’s foundation was built on red blood. The pioneers who came to America had courage

VISIO N S

Harriet Beecher Stowe, famed author of “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin” was psychic from childhood. “She stated that she really did not write this book, that it was given f? her—it passed in vision before her. She had to tell 11 as it came and suffered in so doing."

plus vision. Columbus faced the scorn of a laughing: world and the fanatic fear of a muti­nous crew. The Pilgrims weathered an unknown continent and an unknown death. They believed so fully in their faith that courage had to be born.

Courage is always allied with faith. When we have faith we have courage; when we have murage, we have self-reliance, and when we lave self-reliance, we sometimes have heroism. Why did our young men during the three World Wars die on the battlefield with a smile on their ips. Because they believed they were dying for i principle, the principle of democracy. They lied for the folks back home. They steeled them- lelves for an ordeal because they thought it was vorth it.

But there is a courage just as noble as hero- sm the courage it takes to live day by day, do­ng the little inconsequential, disagreeable hings every human being has to do. It takes ourage to smile when all the world ridicules ■ our ambition; it takes courage to meet monot- ny and adversity. “What we call little things re merely the causes of great things”, says uniel. One cannot always be a hero, but one can lways be a man.”

There is a noble monument of names which an attest the value of that statement—Sir /alter Scott, struggling valiantly to overcome be debt which shadowed his later life, Ludwig .eethoven, straining his ears to hear the notes f his own music, Ralph Waldo Emerson, giving p material success to follow the path of truth, obert Louis Stevenson, producing his novels 'hile chained to a sick bed.

Who is more representative of unflagging ial and unfailing energy than the late Thomas . Edison? When Edison was perfecting his bonograph, he worked from 18 to 20 hours a \y for seven months on the word “specia”. very time he listened, he heard the same re- )onse, “pecia, pecia” until after long waiting s persistence was rewarded and his task com- eted.

In the past, we have had such giants as Wm. mnings Bryan who never gave up his idealsthe face of rank opposition. In the words of

rs. Bryan, “he entered the law at twenty- ree and left it at thirty and during that time ■ gan twice and twice became more than self- pporting”. In 1905 his own state refused his idership and he was twice defeated for the esidency.

President Roosevelt was another pioneer io came out of the fog and chaos—a man who .e the original “Teddy” conquered in spite of liction and misfortune. Today we have space- m, Jack Kennedy, Eisenhauer, and many hers.

We do not frown on innovations today. We 3 getting partially civilized. We accept mod- nistic art and applaud “rock and roll”. It isn’t

so hard to be different in 1975. Remember Galileo, the Father of modern science, W],0 nearly met his end in 1633, because he insisted that the earth moved around the sun. Havint recanted before the tribunal of the inquisition he went out muttering, “It does move just the same”. Of course Gallileo’ policy was “he who fights and runs away will fight again another day.”

Everyone knows the oft-quoted statement of Shakespeare “There is a tide in the affairs of men which taken at the flood leads on to for- tune.” By that tide of fortune, men of courage have grasped opportunity by the hand. There are too many weaklings who are afraid to tackle the unknown. Athansius, who established the Greek Church, had no friend but God and death.

What was it created German unity in 1871, It was the unparalled self-confidence of the Iron Bismarcke who said, “It was come and it will come through me.”

What America needs is more pioneer spirit and less coddling. There should be better adjust­ment in the life of the average American citizen. We have substituted brain fever for living. Where shall we find the remedy if not in the renewed courage of youth.

“By their fruits, ye shall know them.” It is to youth that we turn for new life, new inspira­tion and vision. Busy minds and active bodies have no time for debilitating thoughts. That freshness which springs from the depth of their own being, which leads them into life and action is a symbol of man’s everchanging nature. Out of the chaos has come the assurance and power and compassion of a new humanity.

The power to create, to construct, to ad- (Continued on next page.)

Beauty is nigh.

Beauty is nigh, let the world believe it Love has covered the fields of the dead Healing is here, Let the earth receive it Greeting the Dawn with lifted head.

?he Christ and Christianity, Julius Caesar and fhe Roman Empire, Martin Luther and Refor­mation, “Whither goest thou?” Perhaps Angela Morgan’s poem “Song of the New World” will help to answer that question.FIRST LA\V (Cont’d. from page 5.) neople who develop their fragrant spiritual tal­e n ts and luscious spiritual gifts, and unselfishly diBseminate—give, give, give—are the greatest, most powerful people in the spiritual world. The apirit person who has the gifts and talents to serve all is the greatest, most powerful person of all. Truly, the Nazarene Prophet was correct when he settled the heated dispute of his dis­ciples by saying, “He that is greatest among you (in heaven) shall be the servant of all.”

¿eternal, heavenly kingdoms are kingdoms of increasing power, voltage and beauty. One can enter those kingdoms only through adapta­tion—only by developing the ability to happily live in, harmoniously endure, or blend with the ever-increasing power and voltage of those ex­alted orders of life.

We assert that one cannot live in an order of life which is above and beyond one’s plane of development. One must develop the same order of life within one’s self that exists in a higher heavenly kingdom before one can live in and endure the tremendous power and voltage of the higher kingdom.

True, one can be carried forward in time and space and given a preview of things that exist in a higher kingdom, but the traveler is pro­tected—capsuled scientifically—against the tre­mendous elements and forces of the higher king­dom. It is recorded that “Paul met a man who was caught up to the third heaven where he saw things unlawful for the tongue to speak.”

Unlawful because there were no earthly lan­guages that the tongue could employe in de­scribing what had been seen. The man who was caught up to the third heaven had to be cap­suled, like the astronauts who traveled in outer space and walked on the moon, capsuled in the sustaining elements of his native spiritual plane before he could be safely launched forward and upward on his thrilling excursion in time and space.

A well loved relative, after due preparation, was caught up through frequency increase to the third, highest and last heaven in the chain of our bound planetary heavens or kingdoms. ((There are innumerable heavenly kingdoms in universal etherea beyond our bound planetary heavens, and each higher kingdom increases tre­mendously in its expression of power, voltage and beauty.) Had our relative not been pre­pared scientifically through aura expansion and charging, he would have been unable to func­tion consciously in the higher order of the third heaven. At the conclusion of his experience, the

AfRIL, 1970

relative was lowered in frequency to his normal plane of life in the world of spirits. The relative is now serving, developing and learning that he may constitutionally grow up, and someday through adaptation return to live for a pro­longed period in the high-powered order of life in the third heaven.

The round trip, celestial excursion had a tre­mendous effect upon my relative, and by ex­ample upon many others. His exposure to the love-heat and wisdom-light of the Infinite Spir­itual Sun, even though he was protectively cap­suled, had a transforming effect upon his spirit body. His spirit body, through the exposure, was so highly spiritualized that it resembled beauti­ful, translucent alabaster. The celestial appear­ance, comparable to summer suntan, soon faded leaving his spirit body in a state that was normal to his spiritual plane of life. (The writer viewed the above while traveling in spirit apart from his corporeal body.)

Truly, one cannot live for any length of time in a world which is above and beyond one’s normal plane of development. One must in­wardly change one’s self until one is in exact correspondence with the order of life in a higher kingdom before one can enter and live in the potent order of that higher kingdom. One must outlive or live-out of the order of life in a lower kingdom before one is properly conditioned and qualified to enter a new and more potent order of life in a higher kingdom. The voltage and power increase tremendously in each higher kingdom—they become expanded orders of won­der-working voltage and power. Each higher kingdom presents a more highly patterned type of being and more powerful order of spiritual life.

Each heavenly kingdom is a highly ascended order of love-power and wisdom-voltage: the

higher the heavenly kingdom the more tre­mendous the power and voltage. A familiar spirit would be unable to sustain or retain con- sciousnes if he were tempted to storm the heights of the spiritual kingdom—he could not consciously endure the tremendous power and voltage that exist in the higher order of life. One cannot go to heaven—one must adapt one’s self through progress, growth, evolution to en­ter and live in a higher order of life in an ad­vanced kingdom.

Develop spiritually-—unfold the prolific tal­ents and gifts of your Deific Inner Nature. One can change one’s world only by inwardly chang­ing one’s self. Become a great giver and pro­gress, grow, evolve into a higher more patent order of life. Order is heaven’s first law, and dissemination—giving and growing spiritually —is the method of fulfilling the law. When the heavenly order within one’s being complements the heavenly order which is outside one’s being, one is qualified through adaptation to live and function in the order of the outside kingdom.

Put off the image and order of the earthy, out on the image and order of the heavenly. Put /ourself in Celestial (Spiritual Sun) order for mch is heaven’s first law. Eternal progressive )bedience to this law will eventually qualify you o leave the bound heavens of this planet; it will •ondition you to live and function in the EMAN­CIPATED AND UNIVERSAL KINGDOMS OF 3THEREA. Obey the law of heavenly order for OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW IS LIBERTY.”

J.E.T.iLADYS (Cont'd. from pair« 7.)

And you will be my friend ?Of course.Supposing I can’t come back ?I’m sure if you ask Dr. Hyslop they will let

ou talk to us again later on after you get ettled.

You haven’t told us your name. What is our name, please?

My name is Gladys.Well, that’s a nice name. I like that name.Yes, my name is Gladys.Well, Gladys, here’s the deal. If you talk

ith Dr. Hyslop and get straightened out a ttle, and later on you would like to talk with s again, I'm sure we will be able to arrange it, nd we would be very pleased to know how you id progressed in your new home. Will you do lat?

I would like to do that. Don’t you forget me.No we won’t. We will think of you often.I’m glad I came.And we are glad you did. This has been

onderful. Just straighten it out with Dr. Hy- op and we will see you later. I ’m awfully glad » talked with you.”

Experiencing situations of this type, and ere have been many over the years, certainly spires one to endeavor to inform as many

people as possible of their need for some awatt ness of the problems transition can confront t), uninformed, and the Spiritualists are endeavoi- ing to do just that. A.B.H.H ISTO RY IN SPIRITU A LISM (Cont’d. from P lge ^ man belief, preverting that which is intelligei]j 'nto a form of matter, and inspiration, poetrj- art, philosophy, religion, into mere transpose tions of molecular action through the cells of the brain. Materialism is in itself a dogma, call* to i s aid the various fortifications of the senses imprisons itself within these and refuses to look at the outward sunlight, as the madman fin. mures himself in a vault and then declares that the sun is blotted out, or as a corpse immured in a grave might declare that there is no light. Even thus materialism in trenches itself behind the outermost sensations of the universe and that which is most visible and most apparent declaring all things else to be void.

This kind of materialism makes little head­way in the world. It does not appeal to that which is aspiring and hopeful in man, and for- tunate.y there are very few bold enough, daring enough, to proclaim themselves devotees at the shrine of utter and abject annihilation; but these few represent a startling pertinacity and a power of adhesion that in itself presents per­haps a more formidable appearance than under­lies the thought really.

In proportion to the materiality of the idea, so is it weak, so is it cowardly, so does it shrink from the absolute, so does it refuse the penetra­tion of the spirit. In proportion as man is ma­terialistic in tendencies, so is his mind entirely an intrenchment without the permission of the entrance of an idea; it says, “Show me, and I will be convinced; prove to me that there is a GoJ, and I will believe it; make a way for your prayers in me, and I will believe in prayer; work this, or that, or the other miracle, and I shall then bow down before it ;” forgetting all the while that these miracles are being wrought before the very eyes and senses of this same man, who will not see them; but because the sunlight will not shine this way or that way, because instead of falling in crooked lines it must be straight, because the laws governing the spiritual universe are of their own kind and not of his kind, he then declares that they have no existence, refusing to perceive and receive them—yet it may be his blindness instead of the lack of light that causes the lack of penera- tion and light in his brain.

We leave this condition without application or intended reflection upon any indivdual. We leave it merely for its own sake in the position of the argument, and refer to it here as one of the postulates for the building up of that foun­dation and superstructure that finally annihi­lates space and time and sense in the higher and absolute existence of man.

Declaration of PrinciplesNational Spiritualist Association of Churches

1. We believe in Infinite Intelligence.2. W e believe that the phenomena o f Nature, both

physical and spiritual, are the expression of Infinite Intelligence.

3. We affirm that a correct understanding of such expression and living in accordance therewith, consti­tute true religion.

4. We affirm that the existence and personal iden­tity of the individual continue after the change called death.

5. We affirm that communication with the so-called dead is a fact, scientifically proven by the phenomena of Spiritualism.

6. We believe that the highest morality is contained in the Golden Rule: “Whatsoever ye would that others should do unto you do ye also unto them,”

7. W e affirm the moral responsibility of the indi­vidual, and that he makes his own happiness or un­happiness as he obeys or disobeys Nature's physical and spiritual laws.

8. We affirm that the doorway to reformation is never closed against any human soul here or hereafter.

9. We affirm that the precept of Prophecy contained in the Bible is a Divine attribute proven through Mediumship.

GOLDEN SHADOW (Cont’d. from page 12.)

Her voice dropped down into a lower octave as she said with a twinkle, “Perhaps—but I as­sure you that I exist only in dark places—and no where else.”

He shook his head. “I get it—a beautiful ghost—so long” as traffic began to move ahead. In the rear view mirror, he saw that she was still standing there with a trowel, watching him leave. He wondered as he drove along why his throat suddenly seemed so tight. He never real­ized that when men pass too close to Paradise that they are blinded by skepticism and ridicule. He had just paused in the shadow of a woman whose image had been imprinted on the hearts and minds of a million people all over the world.

The woman was Gloria Golden, who sang with the voice of an angel, made immortal by a little man named Macey, who created his own dream, his own idol. And he shared it with the rest of the world, when he created her as a golden shadow that could only be seen on a silver screen in a darkened hall as she sang to her God and all mankind.
